The Toronto International Film Festival got some early guests to the festivities this week as the co-director of the program announced that bed bugs are swarming the festival.

Specifically, he tweeted that the Scotiabank Theatre, which was to be the main venue for press/industry screenings at the festival, has a major infestation! But according to sources, the situation should be resolved before next week, when the movies are suppose to start rolling.

First New York, now Toronto! These lil' critter are making the rounds! Yucky!!!

Perez - this is just irresponsible. The theatre is not SWARMING nor did anyone report that it was (other than you). ONE customer complained about bites after seeing a movie…
Toronto is an amazing city and yes, pesty bed bugs are EVERYWHERE this year. Good thing they don't cause any harm nor transmit any diseases.

You can bet the bugs won't keep any of the stars away so why try to put a negative spin on the festival and/or this great city?

Actually dumbass, what they said is that they are checking the theatre to make sure there are no bedbugs so that they don't spread with thousands of people coming into the city. They did a check and determined that there are NO bedbugs at Scotiabank Theatre. You really should check your facts before you post stuff.

Perhaps the should come up with a movie on these blood sucking nuisances….they are coming up every where and it certainly is not a reflection of the cleaniness of an establishment…they seriously are showing up everywhere….even Victoria Secret was reported to have them….who wants that in their delicates.

Meh, you just spray and lay out a few sticky boards and sprinkle some of that powder along the baseboards. Gets rid of the little buggers. They come out and die in the middle of the floor and you just pick them up and flush them! Easy!

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
